نگاهی تحلیلی به جایگاه کار در فرهنگ اسلامی

Abstract

This article presents an analytical examination of the status of work in Islamic culture. Work and effort are central to the progress and development of any society, and every community holds its own cultural perspectives and attitudes toward these concepts. The main objective of this study is to analyze the position of work and effort in Islamic culture and to address the misconception that Islam does not place significant emphasis on work and productivity. The research adopts an analytical approach, drawing on primary Islamic sources, including the Qur’an and Hadith. Relevant data were collected and examined through a sociological lens. The findings revealed that, in Islamic culture, work and effort are accorded a high status and are regarded as essential means for earning lawful income, achieving self-sufficiency, and serving God’s creation, while laziness and dependence on others are strongly discouraged.
